Stolen mail nets felony charges for 4 Kitsap residents

PORT ORCHARD — Four Kitsap County residents were charged Monday in Kitsap County District Court in connection with a string of mail thefts reported throughout the county.

Alina Marie Null, 27, and Royden Tokawa Phillips, 38, both of Port Orchard, were charged with first-degree trafficking in stolen property, and Null also was charged with second-degree identity theft.

Demien Leigh Osborn, 27, and Adrian Lynn Seaboy, 24, both of Silverdale, were charged with possession of stolen mail in the same case.

A Bainbridge Island resident reported a debit card stolen out of his mailbox sometime in November. His bank notified him of seven fraudulent charges, all but one taking place in Port Orchard. The other was at Safeway in Silverdale. Surveillance video from Walmart and Albertsons showed Null using the victim's card and withdrawing funds. Phillips was with Null at Walmart, according to court documents.

On Dec. 28, a bag of stolen mail was found near Skogen Lane on Bainbridge. One of the items was an empty American Eagle gift card holder. On Dec. 31, Null sold five gift cards to the ABC Pawn store in Port Orchard, according to court documents. One of the cards was from American Eagle. Phillips told investigators he also sold some gift cards at the pawnshop.

During the investigation, police served a search warrant on a Silverdale home where Phillips and Hull had lived at one time. Police found bags of stolen mail there from addresses in Poulsbo, Silverdale and Bremerton. Two residents of the home, Osborn and Seaboy, were charged with possession of stolen mail.
